Yeah, didn't quote a rule; I don't believe any apply. I don't think the pitcher is doing anything illegal, inappropriate, or unsportsmanlike. Unlike the offensive coaches, whom I would have told that they were done discussing it the first time they brought it up.

Pretty sure that response was conclusive.
